The solar collector (reflector and receiver) is the primary device being used in the concentrating solar power technologies for tapping the solar energy to meet various objectives. The performance of the solar collector is influenced by the type of reflector and receiver being selected, and its material also has significant impact. The …
Solar thermal collectors are systems that allow for the use of solar energy in thermal applications. These collectors utilize a heat transfer fluid to transport absorbed solar radiation to applications where they are needed. Scientists in a bid to improve the conversion efficiency of solar collectors have suggested different collector …

A flat plate collector is a kind of solar panel. Its function is to transform solar energy into heat. The flat plate solar collector is a type of solar thermal panel whose objective is to transform solar power into thermal energy. This type of thermal solar panel has a reasonable cost/effectiveness ratio in moderate climates and are well suited to a …
There are basically two types of collectors, stationary and tracking [3] (Fig. 1).Different collector configurations can help to obtain a large range of temperature for example, 20–80 C is the operating temperature range of a flat plate collector (FPC) [4] and 50–200 C is for an evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC) [5], [6].
To determine the total efficiency of solar collector operation, as a more complex analysis method of solar collector systems is proposed, to include economic, …
